Mutt weirdness

I did "portupgrade -ar" last night. When I tried to use mutt this 
morning, it was behaving weirdly. Mutt wasn't one of the upgrades.

Anything involving the display at the bottom of the mutt screen doesn't 
work. If I type "c" to change the mailbox, nothing happens. If I type 
"d", I can mark a mail for deletion, but I can't quit mutt because 
quitting requires a message at the bottom of the screen asking if I want 
to delete the messages marked for deletion. Typing "y" has no effect. I 
have to unmark the mail in order to quit.

I'm using 5.2.1. A list of the updated ports follows. I have no idea 
which one's may be causing the problem.

xterm-204                   <  needs updating (port has 205_1)

I've tried googling for "mutt" and "bottom of screen", which is all I 
can think of, but no luck.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
